Summary
Marcas Grant & Michael F. Florio get your fantasy lineups ready to rock in Week 8. The guys start off the show discussing about why Kirk Cousins is a sneaky-good start this weekend, but Aaron Rodgers needs to be on the bench. Afterwards, Marcas & Michael dive into the wide receiver position, focusing on Gabe Davis & DeVonta Smith. Next, we talk about some of the biggest question mark players of the week including Dak Prescott, Jonathan Taylor, Alvin Kamara & Deebo Samuel. Later, the pair discuss the tight end position and why Kyle Pitts needs is a sit. Next, the duo run through some under-the-radar players they say deserve more hype and are must-starts including Jaylen Waddle, Joe Mixon & DJ Moore.
We wrap up the show with Florio's likes and dislikes at running back, including a discussion on why David Montgomery can't be trusted this week vs. the Cowboys.

| 0:54.9 | Gloria. And out there in the ether, the specialists, it's the cast of dozens that help us put on these shows each and every day. We are past the halfway point of the fantasy regular season. So how are we feeling right now about the starts and sits this week? I'm feeling great about the starts and sits. I'm feeling great about Cadarious Tony being a chief. Everything is coming up good today. I mean, literally when I saw the news that Cadarius Tony had been traded from the New York Giants of the Kansas City Chiefs, you were the first person I thought about. I didn't think about what it means for Juju or Patrick Mahomes or Wanda Robinson. I thought, what does this mean for michael florio so that tells me all i need to know about about how you feel about cadarius tony |
| 1:00.9 | we probably won't get into that on this show but i'm going to make a wager that we will see that |
| 1:05.8 | and talk about it probably a little bit on nfl fantasy lives so you should be sure to check that |
| 1:09.9 | out coming up later on thursday plenty to talk about on this show, of course. We will have the starts and sits for week eight. We'll have some players that deserve more hype, and we'll have week eight's biggest question marks, some guys that we're not quite sure about, and we'll give you our feelings about them. But let's start with the quarterbacks, as we always do, as we go through Michael F. Florio starts and sits. By the way, you can see all of them online at NFL.com slash start sit. But take us through your quarterbacks for this week, please. Tua Tunga Vailoa in a great matchup against the Lions. Kirk Cousins in another great matchup against the Cardinals. Danny Dimes who's been playing really good ball in a good matchup against the Lions, Kirk Cousins in another great matchup against the Cardinals, Danny Dimes, who's been playing really good ball in a good matchup against Seattle, and someone I know you like this week as well, Marcus, Derek Carr against the Saints, and then my sits, Justin Fields, just because it's a tough matchup. If he plays well in this game, you could start him with confidence. Aaron Rogers against the Bills, Trevor Lawrence against the Broncos, and sadly, Jimmy G. against the Los Angeles Rams. Yeah, the Rams have been tough, but Aaron Rogers on the sit side. Just not something you see a whole lot. But let's start with Kirk Cousins, who, you know, he's, he's Kirk Cousins, right? Everybody says, like, what do you do with Kurt Cousins? |
| 2:18.8 | I'm like, he's been Kirk Cousins, which means in good matchups, he's fine and bad matchups. He's, you know, not maybe so fine. This one feels like a good matchup against Arizona. Yeah, it is. They have allowed the six most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year, just under 20. Just last week alone, we saw |
| 2:35.3 | Andy Dalton carve them up for 360 yards and four scores. And the thing is, the Vikings have a good |
| 2:41.8 | offense on their own if they decide to utilize their key pieces. And if that's the case, |
| 2:46.7 | then they put up points, which means their opposing offense that they are playing has to put up |
| 2:50.8 | points as well. And Cousins has averaged over 16 fantasy points per game this year. I know that's |
| 2:56.4 | not like great for a quarterback, but when we're talking about quarterbacks this year, you could do |
| 3:00.1 | worse. You could absolutely do worse. I think that's the motto for 2020's fantasy season. You |
| 3:06.4 | could do worse. speaking of doing worse |
| 3:09.5 | Aaron Rogers that is doing worse so far this season he is barely a top 15 quarterback at |
| 3:16.3 | the moment the Packers offense is a shambles he's trying to make the best of it with platitudes |
| 3:21.2 | but positive thinking and spiritual awakenings probably aren't |
| 3:25.7 | enough to beat the Buffalo Bill's defense. So we have Aaron Rogers as a sit. Yeah, I'm concerned |
